About Flash Cards

Learn subject matter quick with this Digital Flash Card application built with the PHP Laravel framework. It aims to help you to remember information in a more time efficent manner.

Why Do I Want This?

A flash card is a tool that aids the process of memorisation. Recently while studying to sit an AWS certification I was haunted by a feeling that key facts were just not sticking in my memory as well as they could. Sure I could revise the content again but what if it didn't stick the next time around either?

A new approach was needed to quickly revise key facts without wasting time having to go over the same content in its entirety. So I decided to create this flash card tool with Laravel so I could create my own sets of topics and related cards to study.

It frontend allows unauthenticated users to cycle though a subset of cards under each category available. While a simple backend admin system that allows the creation and management of cards and their associated categories.

Live Demo

A demo version of the application is online with AWS related flash cards to play with.
